More surprising is a parking spot where you can get that thing in and still comfortably get out. And it's just too funny to see that Opel (Corsa?) between those two bricks , thanks for that.

Yep, an Opel Corsa. Would have been awesome if they ran over it.

Got to go. 2:18 AM here. Drank so much Coke Zero today I can't sleep!

E92 BMW M3 -metallic grey+19inch rims, the driver was revving it, V8 sounds fantastic
E60 BMW M5 -metallic grey, V10 sounds very quiet.
997 Porsche Turbo-dark blue+red brake caliper
Maserati GranTurismo-black+20inch rims, this car is so dam sexy.

Finished my last exam today, felt a relief afterwards and celebrated with a relaxing walk around central london with my camera in hand. The weather is lovely and everyone in shining like a star. Saw a gazzilion gorgeous cars but when I spotted the Porsche 959 everything else just blurred. It was like holding a new born baby in your hands, you realize how unimportant everything else it. What a stunning marvel, barely 400 made and I saw one of them here in London today. 0-100km/h in just 3.7 seconds and it didn't look a bit old at all even though it's 20 years old. What a machine, easily one of the best cars I've ever seen. Pictures don't do the car justice, it was really THAT special.

Equally impressive was the Brookland, at first I thought it was a Arnage but then I saw that it only had two doors. It was parked outside receiving a minor mid-day bath in the form of polish with a damp cloth, while the owner was chilling indoors. The interior was white with black accents and black wood. I loved it before I saw it for the first time and now I love it even more.

BTW never judge a book by its cover. People here are very low key. The 959 owner wore a simply black suit and had on his left wrist a simple CASIO watch which probably doesn't cost more than 50 euro. The same goes for a random dude who jumped out of a black Phantom, looked totally like normal without any ice at all.





























Two Lexus cars involved in a minor traffic accident.

Yeah, that turned out to be a pretty funny picture muscle power, electric power and petrol power. All the contrasting heavily with one another and I didn't realize it until I looked at the picture on the laptop. I'm glad you picked up on it. That electric car G-wiz is actually quite popular here in London. It's as popular as the Smart, you see it on almost every street.

Kind of similar a picture I posted last time in this thread:

I assume someone has to plug it into a power socket every night before going to sleep.

Yeah, and in the morning you have to make sure it's the G-Wiz you're trying to drive to work with and not the toaster. They are confusingly similar...
